Float down the Pakerisan River, then trade the current for a two-hour ATV track through rice fields and village roads. This Ubud-area day combines gentle river scenery and technical off-road sections for a full day of active exploration.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a shaded minivan and the air smells of wet earth and cut rice; downstream the Pakerisan River runs cool and insistent, nudging inflatable tubes toward a line of low rapids and sun-dappled pools. The tubing stretch threads through verdant valley walls and small Bali villages, where children wave from terraced fields and the current does the work while you steady the boat and take in the raw, close-up landscape.
